A NOTE FROM THE
COMPOSER |
|
That was a tough process. There were a lot of
people involved – there were two studios, and we’d have meetings
with… I couldn’t even count how many people were there! When I first
saw the movie I was envisioning doing it more with period
instruments, like ancient Greek instruments, but that got shot down
pretty quick – although I did have some musicians who specialized in
ancient instruments who came in and played. That theme, it’s a
simple theme but I wanted to make it almost like it could be
songlike and something that could have the opportunity to develop
over the course of the movie. In its final incarnation it was
slightly altered from my original concept but more or less
intact. In the end, I did wind up using some
period instruments but they were processed electronically; the drums on the slave
ship, for example; there is also some vocal
material in there. And for the scenes in the Hur household, instead
of using traditional harp I used a lyre, so there is
a little bit of that throughout the
score. |
